The downloadable Logi Options+ software makes this one of the best mice for customization.

One of the best features of this mouse is its metal scroll wheels.
Both are smooth, precise, and comfortable.
Unlike the original Master 3, the Master 3S features very quiet clicks.

This wheel lets you scroll quickly for longer web pages or slow and precise for shorter travel.
Theres also a metal side-scrolling wheel for complete scrolling control in both directions.
Lofree is a lesser-known brand that focuses on quirky designs and high-quality components.

Its Touch PBT mouse is undeniably unique.
Its mouse clicks are adorned with actual, full-sized PBT keycaps, like those on a keyboard.
The little LED on the board also provides both style and functionality.

A few things to note: First, the Touch PBT is a little small overall.
My hands are big, so I did notice a little discomfort at the end of particularly long days.
Its also a tad more expensive than I’d expect for its functionality.

But there’s no denying this is one of the most uniqueand aesthetically interestingmice on the market.
Since the Magic Mouse has become largely unpopular, you might pick one up for a reasonable price.
However, what you get for the money is the real story here.
The connectivity, feel of the clicks, and the reliable tracking experience are all excellent.
Once you get this set up with your Mac, youll hardly think about hiccups in everyday use.
Then theres the gestures.
The negatives here are well-litigated; I won’t spend much time on it.
But yes, the mouse sits flat on the desk and feels ergonomically questionable.
Its not a huge deal if you remember to charge yours overnight or between uses.
The M720 has robust hardware and software features commonly reserved for pricier mice.
But what put it above the competition was Logi Options+ software.
The software enables extensive customization, including pointer, scroll, and button assignments.
The M720 faced stiff competition in the budget wireless category.
The M720 is our top budget pick because it hits a middle ground that other mice miss.
